Chapter Outline • The Balance Sheet • The Income Statement • Taxes • Cash Flow
Key Concepts and Skills • Know the difference between book value and market value • Know the difference between accounting income and cash flow • Know the difference between average and marginal tax rates • Know how to determine a firm’s cash flow from its financial statements
The Balance Sheet • The balance sheet is a snapshot of the firm’s assets and liabilities at a given point in time • Assets are listed in order of decreasing liquidity • Ease of conversion to cash without significant loss of value • Balance Sheet Identity • Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity
Balance Sheet Analysis • When analyzing a balance sheet, the Finance Manager should be aware of three concerns: • Accounting liquidity • Debt versus equity • Value versus cost
Accounting Liquidity • Refers to the ease and quickness with which assets can be converted to cash—without a significant loss in value • Current assets are the most liquid. • Some fixed assets are intangible. • The more liquid a firm’s assets, the less likely the firm is to experience problems meeting short-term obligations. • Liquid assets frequently have lower rates of return than fixed assets.
Debt versus Equity • Creditors generally receive the first claim on the firm’s cash flow. • Shareholder’s equity is the residual difference between assets and liabilities.
Market vs. Book Value • The balance sheet provides the book value of the assets, liabilities, and equity. • Historical Cost Principle: Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), audited financial statements of firms in the U.S. carry assets at cost. • Market value is the price at which the assets, liabilities, or equity can actually be bought or sold , which is a completely different concept from historical cost.
Value versus Cost • Market value and book value are often very different. Why? • Which is more important to the decision-making process?
The Income Statement • Measures financial performance over a specific period of time • The accounting definition of income is: Revenue – Expenses ≡ Income
Income Statement • The income statement is more like a video of the firm’s operations for a specified period of time • You generally report revenues first and then deduct any expenses for the period • Matching principle – GAAP says to recognize revenue when it is fully earned and match expenses required to generate revenue to the period of recognition
American Composite Corporation Income Statement Total operating revenues $2,262 The operations section of the income statement reports the firm’s revenues and expenses from principal operations. Cost of goods sold 1,655 Selling, general, and administrative expenses 327 Depreciation 90 Operating income $190 29 Other income Earnings before interest and taxes $219 Interest expense 49 Pretax income $170 Taxes 84 Current: $71 Deferred: $13 $86 Net income Addition to retained earnings $43 Dividends: $43

Income Statement Analysis • There are three things to keep in mind when analyzing an income statement: • Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) • Non-Cash Items • Time and Costs
GAAP • The matching principal of GAAP dictates that revenues be matched with expenses. • Thus, income is reported when it is earned, even though no cash flow may have occurred.
Non-Cash Items • Depreciation is the most apparent. No firm ever writes a check for “depreciation.” • Another non-cash item is deferred taxes, which does not represent a cash flow. • Thus, net income is not cash.
Time and Costs • In the short-run, certain equipment, resources, and commitments of the firm are fixed, but the firm can vary such inputs as labor and raw materials. • In the long-run, all inputs of production (and hence costs) are variable. • Financial accountants do not distinguish between variable costs and fixed costs. Instead, accounting costs usually fit into a classification that distinguishes product costs from period costs.
Example: Work the Web • Publicly traded companies must file regular reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission • These reports are usually filed electronically and can be searched at the SEC public site called EDGAR • Click on the web surfer, pick a company, and see what you can find!
Taxes • The one thing about taxes we can rely on is that they will always be changing • Marginal vs. average tax rates • Marginal – the percentage paid on the next dollar earned • Average – the tax bill / taxable income • Other taxes
Example: Marginal vs. Average Rates • Suppose your firm earns $4 million in taxable income. • What is the firm’s tax liability? • What is the average tax rate? • What is the marginal tax rate? • If you are considering a project that will increase the firm’s taxable income by $1 million, what tax rate should you use in your analysis?
The Concept of Cash Flow • Cash flow is one of the most important pieces of information that a financial manager can derive from financial statements • The accounting statement of cash flows does not provide us with the same information that we are looking at here • We will look at how cash is generated from utilizing assets and how it is paid to those who finance the purchase of the assets
Financial Cash Flows • Three Financial Cash Flows • Cash Flow From Assets • Cash Flow to Creditors • Cash Flow to Stockholders • Since there is no magic in finance, it must be the case that the cash flow received from the firm’s assets must equal the cash flows to the firm’s creditors and stockholders. • Cash Flow From Assets (CFFA) = Cash Flow to Creditors + Cash Flow to Stockholders, or CF(A)≡ CF(B) + CF(S)
Cash Flow From Assets • Cash Flow From Assets = Operating Cash Flow – Net Capital Spending – Changes in NWC • OCF (I/S) = EBIT + depreciation – taxes • NCS ( B/S and I/S) = ending net fixed assets – beginning net fixed assets + depreciation • Changes in NWC (B/S) = ending NWC – beginning NWC
Cash Flow to Investors • CF to Creditors (B/S and I/S) = interest paid – net new borrowing • CF to Stockholders (B/S and I/S) = dividends paid – net new equity raised

Financial Cash Flow The cash flow received from the firm’s assets must equal the cash flows to the firm’s creditors and stockholders:
Example: Balance Sheet and Income Statement Information • Current Accounts • 2007: CA = $1,500; CL = $1,300 • 2008: CA = $2,000; CL = $1,700 • Fixed Assets and Depreciation • 2007: NFA = $3,000; 2008: NFA = $4,000 • Depreciation expense = $300 • LT Liabilities and Equity • 2007: LTD = $2,200; Common Stock = $500; RE = $500 • 2008: LTD = $2,800; Common Stock = $750; RE = $750 • Income Statement Information • EBIT = $2,700; Interest Expense = $200; Taxes = $1,000; Dividends = $1,250
Example: Cash Flows • OCF = $2,700 + $300 – $1,000 = $2,000 • NCS = $4,000 – $3,000 + $300 = $1,300 • Changes in NWC = ($2,000 – $1,700) – ($1,500 – $1,300) = $100 • CFFA = $2,000 – $1,300 – $100 = $600 • CF to Creditors = $200 – ($2,800 – $2,200) = - $400 • CF to Stockholders = $1,250 – ($750 – $500) = $1,000 • CFFA = - $400 + $1,000 = $600 • The CF identity holds.
2.6 The Statement of Cash Flows • There is an official accounting statement called the statement of cash flows. • This helps explain the change in accounting cash. • The three components of the statement of cash flows are: • Cash flow from operating activities • Cash flow from investing activities • Cash flow from financing activities
